What happened after Ireland was partitioned?
What happened was that the British by carefully manipulating the different traditions in Ireland maintained a foot hold in Ireland.
The immediate outcome of partition was to create a civil war between pro-treaty and anti-treaty sides.This war lasted approx. two years.The pro-treaty side eventually winning.
The long term outcome was of course to create a defacto apartheid (Northern Ireland)state wherby the
catholic /nationalists were discriminated against by protestant/unionists.This took the form of discrimination against catholic/nationlists in the allocation of jobs and in housing and in civil rights in general.The unionists also resorted to "gerrymandering" whereby electoral bounderies were manipulated to ensure that no council would be run by a majority of catholic/nationalists.
This "apartheid" state that the British created by partition in 1920 was a time bomb waiting to go off. 50 years later the time bomb expolded. An attack by the RUC ( Royal Ulster Constabuarly ) on a peaceful civil rights march in Oct.1968 is often cited as the begining of what was to become the most bloody and protracted conflict in recent times. By the time it was over some 3000 people had died and tens of thousands injured. The main protaginists were the Provisional IRA who launched a ferocious campaign targeting British soldiers , RUC members and UDR members in Northern Ireland. Their campaign also included attacks on Britain.The Provisional IRA developed into what was widely accepted as the most sophisticated terror group in the world.
Ceasefire was called in 1994 which broke down briefly only to resume again in 1996.
Both the British and the Provisional IRA essentially claiming that neither side could defeat the other militarily. As part of the Good Friday Agreement the British have said that they have no interest in preventing the re-unification of Ireland and if the majority of the people in Northern Ireland wish that then the British will fully support that.The Irish government as part of the agreement also agreed to remove Articles two and three of the Irish Constitution that claimed the six counties.
The political wing of the Provisional IRA , Sinn Fein , now persue the aim of Irish reunification through peaceful means.It remains to be seen if this will ever happen.Its hard to see it ever happening. The differences carefully fostered by the British all those years ago still have a huge bearing today.
But it has to be said that the Irish people have never accepted the British in Ireland.And this dates all the way back to the 12th centuary. I bet the British are sorry they ever set foot in Ireland. It has haunted them to this very day.
